We got given one of those small tools when I was working for BG but never had a clue for what it was really for, I used it for making good around heating piipes. Stay safe.. Gazza
Nice work mark on a nice sturdy scaff 👌🏼. That big house looked Bonny , bet that kept you busy for a while and that garage .....I recognised it straight away 😁. And now you can tell everyone on a TH-cam that you have a small tool but you’re not too sure how to use it 😆🤣😂🧱👍🏼
😂😂😂Steve you right I never have lol. I done a tone of work there. They have become good friends to me. We doing some flagging there and then an oak car port in next few weeks. Haven't done one before so will be a fun project. They let me loose on anthing lol
@@SteveAndAlexBuild 😂Chears mate. I do work for people over the years and they always want me to do stuff I don't know How too. But they like just do it you can do it. Lol then I go yere stuff it I will lol 👍👍👍
@@markhep there are about 3 types of this tool with a different primary tool, the leaf like you have, a cloverleaf type, can't remember the other one. The others are hard to find as new tools for the last couple of decades, footprint are one of the last manufacturers doing these. Always worth keeping an eye out on places like boot sales and flea markets where old tools are sold. The leaf was always the most popular and useful of the designs.
I have always called that a SMALL TOOL. Never used it for brickwork, only for plastering work tidying up fine things like large ornamental cove cornice internals and externals, and sometimes applying filler to timber details. It’s a useful tool but not sure how it could be used for brickwork.
Yes mate definitely. I saw this in the shop and thought I would give it a go. It something I going to keep in my bag just incase I lose My tuck pointer 👍👍👍thought I would give it a go see what I could do with it,👍
I am a mason in the US and focus mainly on chimneys, we would have taken that chimney down to the roof and rebuilt it with new brick. I’m just curious as to why you chose to do a pointing job on it when it looks in rough shape. Not trying to be rude, just curious, I realize you folks have been fixing brick long before us.
Hi mate. Yes we don't really re build them unless they are literally falling over. Just because it costs a lot more to Re build. And we probably don't get the weather you do. Usley Repointing it lasts around 20 years. So they go for the cheaper option lol👍👍👍
@@leecarbines6767 that's how we do it in England Lee we don't just take chimneys down because the pointing and a few bricks are bad we just fix them👍we only take them down when they really bad
I've got a huge ladder and would have been happy to do a simple job like that off it. I use exactly the same mix. Go on.....tell us how much you charged? 😉
I know them so was a 200 pound job lol I did a few other thing around the house too. They got the scaffolding not sure the price on that.. But wasn't a grate deal for them. I would have probably not took the job if I didn't know them👍👍👍

Good job buddy , Much needed repair there that wall looked a bit cracked up
That tool is indeed used by plasterers to make some fancy shapes🙏😁
Yere it's a nice tool. Yes it could have done with a re build that chimney it was in bad shape👍

We call them a small tool, they do last for ever :) doing real detail make flexible is better :)
Nice one. They look handy tools. Will probably use it for all different things👍
@@markhep they are very handy for sure hard to get at areas also :)
Yere will probably keep it near by me. Could use it for all sorts 👍👍👍
Always know it as a heart and square for fine detail work ( and loads of other stuff )
I like that name 👍👍👍
Nice work mark on a nice sturdy scaff 👌🏼.

Mainly for plastering Mark small tools , but come in handy for all sorts good to have in the bag 👍
Yere it looked pretty cool lol. So thought I would give it a go. Yere I think maybe more plastering too 👍👍👍
It's a plastering tool called a leaf tool although it's really handy for pointing and brick laying awkward situations in older buildings.
Thanks mate. When I got it I thought this would be really handy for plastering 👍👍👍

Yere it looks pretty handy maybe use it on pointing flags or something 👍👍👍
Plasterers leaf and square is wat me and my old man called them 👍
Nice. Yere I think the manly use them for plastering don't they 👍
Yes it’s a patching plastering tool.Recently used one for pointing with lime putty.Joints and beds from 8mm too 1 mm
Nice one. 👍👍👍
You would have been better useing a wide tuck pointer for those perps🤔
Yes mate definitely. I saw this in the shop and thought I would give it a go. It something I going to keep in my bag just incase I lose My tuck pointer 👍👍👍thought I would give it a go see what I could do with it,👍
Scaffold looks abit high mate😩 looks tip top by the end mate👏🏼
Chears mate. Yere it's a high one glad I didn't try the ladder lol 😂👍👍👍

A bet the snotters where dripping out the nose that day😁
😂😂😂Yere mate. 👍👍👍
Ps that small tool is quality, if you want a flush joint it’s perfect
Yere it's looks pretty useful. First time I have seen one 👍👍👍
First video of 2021! Happy New Year to you and your family ✨🎉🥂
You too val. I don't want to go back ever day yet lol having too much fun in the garage lol😂👍👍👍
@@markhep Then you have to make the most of it 👍 😂
@@Clothis64 yere I am doing think I can afford another week on before I am skint lol😂👍👍👍
I have an rst one but it's not as flexible as that one handy little trowel tho mate
Yere I am sure it will get used. First time I have ever seen one 👍👍👍

@@markhep always best to do stuff off scaffolding, extra cost for scaffolding far outweighs the implications of a fall off the ladder!
That high off a ladder your touched
Best mix ratio
Nice one. You do the same then 👍
@@markhep I do indeed mate, that existing pointing has too much cement in it.
I use a rock common sand, not sure what you folks use.
@@Southpoint2019 o like a sharp sand with grit in it
@@markhep sharp sand is a bit too gritty, think of something similar to Travis Perkins building sand
@@Southpoint2019 o Yere. Stuff we have is called misen it's smooth but we don't realy have one with a bit of grit in 👍👍👍
it's called a cake slicer.
i think.😂
😂😂You found another use I will be using it for 🤣👍👍👍
It's called a small tool.
Fantastic name 😂😂😂👍though they would have come up with something better than that lol
@@markhep I know right, very imaginative. They are really handy tools though, and i prefer them for weather struck pointing than a pointing trowel.
@@doonhilla😂 Yere the pointed end got in the way a bit. But I am sure I will be using it for all sorts 👍👍👍
